Castle 5th scale

Patrick, do you have any idea about when the new Mamba XL will be available also on Hobby stores (including, for sure, RC Monster.com Store) other than on Your site ?

I'm asking this because I have to buy additional products (not Castle, sorry...) and I do prefer to make just one order to keep shipping cost as low as it possible.

Thanks in advance, Andrea.

Andrea,

We are working on it ... the distributors are not sure how to handle this item because it is unique -- nobody has a competing product. So they are a little wary about numbers, and are waiting for orders from dealers.

We are pushing them to take some units to test the market.

Thanx!

How can they worried ?
I bet, if you fill up one shop here in germany, the stock will be empty within a day

Worth a try... Send a truckload to Jakspeed-Racing.de

Since i got told, HorizonHobby have/will drop the distribution of Castle products... I hope not !

Well, quite strange position (that of distributors)....if they don't make an initial stock, they probably will not have any idea about potential sale volume of the XL (unless the buyers place many backorders on this - very unlikely to happen )...its a catch 22

Well, I'll wait some weeks more and then I'll decide...

Bye, Andrea.
